Oahu News:

Hurricane Lala wreaks havoc across Oahu with flooding, downed trees, and widespread power outages, prompting the Board of Water Supply to again urge residents to conserve water amid ongoing power challenges. In response, the city is transitioning emergency shelters from schools to three parks to facilitate reopening schools safely. Meanwhile, two incumbent lawmakers lost their seats in primary tie-breakers decided by drawing lots, marking a rare electoral event in West Oahu. Additionally, nearly 44 acres on Oʻahu and Molokaʻi, including the Kalaeloa parcel, are set to be returned to the state from the US Navy, expanding local control of important lands. Lastly, special use lanes will not operate on Monday, August 17, due to state and county office closures following the storm, as noted by Hawaii.gov.
